What’s the word for “I worked very hard to create this thing that is obviously handmade and doesn’t reflect how fucking hard it was”? Yeah I made a thing for Worldcon. It took days to get it right. I promise.

Awesome Possums win at trivia! We lie fearlessly in front of larger predators until the right time when we strike. Or bet a lot of points to win in the end. My metaphor is falling apart a bit. Blame @danielsolis.bsky.social for the name. @cthulhim.bsky.social also pictured.

Please don’t count on “helpful” AI, especially not for important things. I found a pill that I couldn’t identify so I searched for it. Googles AI literally says the long red pill is a round white opioid. (It was acetaminophen) red is white. Good is evil. Candy is a vegetable.

Hey fountain pen enthusiasts- I got a sample bag of inks from Goulet Pens, and while I love this orange, it clearly isn’t Ferris wheel sunlit jade. (Jade is green, and I’ve looked up the actual ink and confirmed. It’s green.) Does anyone know what mystery shimmer orange could be?
